Jennifer Lawrence’s Oscar Fall — Reason Behind Her Trip:

Was it nerves? Was it the stunning Dior Haute Couture gown? Well, she told the mag exactly what it was … and we cannot stop laughing! “I was at the Oscars, waiting to hear if my name was called, and I kept thinking, Cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk. I thought, Why is ‘cakewalk’ stuck in my head? And then, as I started to walk up the stairs and the fabric from my dress tucked under my feet, I realized my stylist had told me, ‘Kick, walk, kick, walk.’ You are supposed to kick the dress out while you walk, and I totally forgot because I was thinking about cake! And that’s why I fell,” she told the mag. Lawrence is so witty and down to earth we can’t handle it — and we love her cover of the magazine’s annual ‘Movie’ issue!
